How you will benefit:

Possessing the skills to successfully lead and manage projects is essential in the corporate business world. With projects that incorporate hundreds, if not thousands, of inputs, decisions and resources it’s critical that you have the best tools and techniques at your disposal. The Center for Management Development’s Master Certificate in Project Management develops your knowledge and ability to successfully use these tools. 

"I wish I would have had this course work prior to starting my last project.  I have learned a great deal.  Techniques and tips that I learned would have helped make that project more successful."
    
Sonya Kellogg, Transition Manager, Hawker Beechcraft

TAKE THE NEXT STEP:

Are you ready to get serious about taking the PMI PMP® certification exam?

Are you blown away by the overwhelming task of documenting thousands of hours of project management experience?

We have the Solution!
CMD is offering the opportunity to participate in a 

                            Project Management Bootcamp for $1,995

A Bootcamp that comes with a guarantee!!
Here's how it works.  
    The bootcamp runs for 5 days: 
    September 10 -14, 2012, Monday - Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.  
    The course is taught by Mark A. Ward, Ph.D., PMP. 

Mark focuses on the 9 major subject areas covered on the exam, uses real life case studies, and will administer several simulation exams.

The Guarentee applies when you:
    1.  Participate in the Bootcamp
    2.  Take each simulation exam
    3.  Pass the simulations by 80% or more
    4.  Sit for your PMP exam within 7 days of completion of the bootcamp (9/18 - 9/25/2012)

        and you don't pass - CMD will pay the $275 fee to retest.

To take the exam you will need to:
    Register with the PMI organization 
    Submit a complete application to PMI 
    Receive approval from PMI     
    Make an appointment with the Prometric Testing Center


Registering with the PMI organization means documenting those thousands of hours of experience.   That sounds like a headache!  It doesn't have to be.


Once you are registered for the Bootcamp, you have access, 30 to 45 days prior to the Bootcamp, to meet with Dr. Ward, so he can help you complete the documentation process.  Dr. Ward's expertise will help you translate your experience, using the PMI language, to ensure accuracy and efficiency.

               Lessen the stress                            Lessen the confusion

Where else can you:
        -- work with a distinguished subject matter expert
        -- get focused with the right tools
        -- enjoy a good lunch every day
        -- AND a guarantee?          Only at CMD!
